NASA Evaluates LP SmartSide Siding

From: LP Building Solutions

To help prove the durability of LP SmartSide engineered wood siding, LP Building Products asked the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to evaluate the impact damage resistance of both engineered wood siding from the LP SmartSide brand and fiber cement siding. Impact damage resistance was compared by impacting each type of siding with golf balls and baseballs, which could accidentally hit the side of a house, as well as marbles and rocks, which could be thrown from a lawn mower.

High-speed video cameras were used to measure projectile speeds and view damage to the siding.

According to NASA: “Under similar conditions, with all four projectiles more damage was sustained by the fiber cement siding product than the engineered wood siding product.”
